Summary of This Score
This collection brings together "the most beautiful melodies" by Isabelle Aboulker in a selection designed to directly touch the listener, thanks to expressive vocal writing and particular attention to word comprehension. The composer stands out for clear prosody and constant focus on the evocative power of the text, in the spirit of the great tradition of French song and mélodie.
The score features contrasting pages, capable of shifting from impetuous impulse to the most intimate singing. The passionate vocalises of "Je t'aime," composed for Patricia Petitbon, converse with narrative and theatrical miniatures. La Fontaine's fables ("Le Corbeau et le renard," "Le Lion devenu vieux," "Le Loup et l'agneau," "La Cigale et la fourmi," "Les Animaux malades de la peste," etc.) bring a storytelling dimension, character, and play on intentions, particularly valuable for developing stage presence.
Alongside these finely crafted scenes, the more unsettling atmosphere of "Au marché Saint-Paul, j'irai - I Am Off to the Market Day" (with its "merchant of souls") contrasts with the lighter spirit of "Savoir vivre et usages mondains - Guide to Fine Etiquette and Worldly Manners." The melancholic colors of "Lettre d'amour - Love-Letter" open towards a more intimate poetry before giving way to the immediate charm of "L'Inconstante - The Inconstant One."
This score thus constitutes an excellent choice for singers seeking a varied program combining humor, literary finesse, and emotional intensity, with pieces conducive to work on expressivity, clarity of sung French, and nuance.
